Just a side note, on occasion Google shopping will still not allow the item to show up in Google shopping. I’ve got one right now. It’s new and the item never was sold with a UPC. Most of the time it works great, once in a while it is like oh shoot, Google is not gonna show my listing in there.

Just a follow up…I did try changing the trait to “handmade”, but that still only provides “new with tag” and “New without Tag”, so I’m going to leave it with the trait for “Brand”… “LuLu’s Fancy”
